2 Star Review

I downloaded the app because I thought it was a great concept and a cool idea to motivate people to get fit. While I still think the concept is great, the execution from the company and the way the app works is just not great. It’s very clumsy with a confusing interface and many things are slow to respond. Transferring money in and out of your account I have found to be a nightmare solely because the interface doesn’t work. And the biggest problem I have is even getting into the app. It’s doesn’t save your login which means I have to do it each time I want to check the app but then it doesn’t even let you log in. I have legitimately gotten into the app 3 times in the past 4 weeks and that is not from a lack of trying. Plus it’s not secure. Resetting your password is altogether too easy where you don’t need verification you just need to know the email. So when I’m using an app where I’m spending money yet I’m not able to access that money hardly ever and it feels like anyone could just steal my password at any time I just don’t think I can justify using it. Maybe in the future when some of the bugs are fixed and the app is easier to navigate but not right now.

Great app as long as you follow rules

This app is great when you use as intended. I guarantee 80% of 1 star reviews are people who attempted to exploit it.

They will steel your money

Cadoo did not sync with the other apps
, so even after I completed many activities they were classed as failed because Cadoo didn’t sync. I lost all of my money even after providing screen shots of Fitbit and Strava that showed that I had completed the challenges . I had no response from Cadoo , they just locked my account so that I could no longer message them.Don’t do it !

Awful

It’s been 2 weeks and now I don’t get a response on my cash out. This has just been a terrible experience and wouldn’t recommend anyone to use this app.

Don’t recommend

It charge you %3.5 to take out money and put it in the app, and it’s takes long to get your money, and also when you withdraw the money to put into your bank, it charges you another %3.5

Do not get. Awful app.

This app is absolutely horrible. Very buggy and takes FOREVER to verify your push-ups, even if the video is under a minute. This app has caused me tons of stress for absolutely no reason. From not counting my steps correctly, to taking up to 6 hours to verify push-ups, and making me loose a challenge. Never using this app again. Also very small payouts. Wish I could give a zero star review.

New found strength

For the longest time I had struggled to get myself to do push-ups, but Cadoo has motivated me to push-ups every single day.

I’ve gone from being able to do 10 to 50.

Great app!

Something’s Shady

Don’t waste your time and money. Something’s just not right here. After participating in challenges for almost a year, I’ve given the developers ample time to fix the bugs. And yet, there are still glitches. I’ve seen the developers spam other apps including Strava and Waybetter to get more members. They’ve always refunded money if the game is set up wrong. But who has the time and energy to continually follow up with them. The games are pricey and just not profitable. There’s no accountability as to winners or losers. My last game paid out 4 cents. So not worth it!

Thank you for sticking with us for so long! Unfortunately, we did have consistent issues when it came to bugs, and eventually had to discontinue use of Strava as they were blocking us consistently and were directly the cause of 90% of our syncing bugs. Once we resolved this, that cause fewer people to have syncing issues and fewer people's money being paid out unjustly! The point of Cadoo is to hold yourself accountable with your OWN money, any additional winnings is a bonus, but not the goal of joining a challenge! We have since resolved nearly all bugs and have launched new features as well.

Put your money where your mouth is!

I’ve gone through periods using this app, but in general love the concept! It’s still building out more workout styles/movements, but the things that are there are great so far!

As a coach and athlete I‘be noticed that most people need some form of accountability. For those that don’t work with a coach, this is a low-risk “put your money where your mouth is” approach that I can definitely stand behind!

Looking forward to creating challenges and being a part of the community on Cadoo!
